�� Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes Page 5 <br /> August 11,2021 <br /> Commissioners all agreed they would be able to attend. <br /> I 0. Announcements <br /> Council member Wagner received an email from council member Christianson from <br /> a few homeowners regarding the possibility of getting fishing line recycling stations <br /> at Orono Park and William H. Houlton Conservation Area. A resident reached out <br /> to the DNR but they said they don't place the tubes and they usually work with the <br /> local lake association or sometimes an Eagle Scout. It was brought back to Orono <br /> Lake Improvement District (OLID) and Patrick Plante said that the group thought it <br /> would a good project for an Eagle Scout or Park and Recreation for placement. <br /> Council member Wagner will forward the information to Mr. Hecker and Chair <br /> Williams for a future discussion item. <br /> Council member Wagner shared that she did a post on the Trout Brook Facebook <br /> page to get feedback regarding the Trott Brook Tennis Courts since the project was <br /> moved to 2022. She left the survey open for people to include suggestions on what <br /> they'd like at the park. Some of the suggestions were a splash pad,dog park,hockey <br /> rink, two tennis courts plus a pickleball court, skate park and a community garden. <br /> She shared with the group that she would not support a splash pad at Trott Brook <br /> Park since there is a beautiful splash pad being installed at Orono Park. She also let <br /> them know that it is a public park which will bring in more people and parking. She <br /> would like to do a follow up and asked the Commission if they'd like her to do more <br /> of a focused and specific question. <br /> Mr. Hecker shared he received an email from a resident asking if we can improve the <br /> lighting at the Trott Brook Park tennis courts with LED lights. The lighting that's <br /> currently there is older and not as direct. <br /> Council member Wagner recalls that citizens complained about the lights shining <br /> into their homes. Would you like me to ask a more focused question before the <br /> special meeting? <br /> Commissioner Niziolek thinks we can make slight modifications to the tennis court <br /> site plan that we already have, and we can embellish it with improved lighting. <br /> Council member Wagner asked the commission if she should let the Facebook group <br /> know that the plan is to replace the two tennis courts and ask for feedback if there <br /> are any other simple type of embellishments, such as lighting and shade, that can be <br /> added to the site plan. <br /> P111111 IT <br /> NATURE <br />
